Aquired a new domain

I figured it was time to give Wars4free a 2nd chance. Got a new domain name which was alot better. At least in my opinion. The GamerG8.com is the new domain and now I’m converting from vBulletin to Invisionboard.

Making your own website

I will try write a series of easy articles which will show the new ones out there how to set up their own website in a few easy steps. I will provide you with the way I register domains, and also recommend a host which is good for small and medium websites and also not very pricey.

Publish your RSS feeds

I found this nice service called Twitterfeed that makes it possible for you to post your RSS feeds into your Facebook pages and groups. A nice way to get a little more traffic and backlinks.

When you signup you can add your feed(s) and choose where to post it. Each feed can be posted to several social groups similarly. Groups like Facebook, Twitter, Laconica, Hellotxt and Ping.fm.

Singha Beer

I came across this nice Singha beer commercial today and wanted to put it here. Enjoy!

Pro Banners

I’m starting to wonder whether I should go for a pro made banner for Librarium Online or not. I have been pretty satisfied with the current banners at LO, but lately the competition between the Warhammer forums have tightened and I feel its time to improve fast. I might go ask Bannaz for help.

Template Update

I updated my template today. Grabbed the header from Thaiairways and edited it slightly in photoshop. Done after 5minutes. Then changed the link colors and the sidebar headers to purple. Also changed the background to grey. I think it looks pretty cool and I like the look of the thai airway women celebrating Loy Krathong in the header :)

Autoblogs for blogging networks

A few other sites have started something they call “blogging network” with pretty good success. I would like to try out the same thing, but what kind of autoblogging software should I use ?

Since I’m on Wordpress there are a few I can choose between, but the next question is, paid or free ? I did try two free autobloggers today at this blog and they seemed to work very well both of them.

The first one was the WP-o-Matic which was pretty good. It could upload the pictures to your own server from the source, but it didn’t create the blog author. The 2nd one was the FeedWordpress which did create the author, but didn’t upload the pictures. I’m currently using the FeedWordpress. I liked that one best out of these two free ones.

There are also a few paid autobloggers; WpRobot, Autoblogged, Sitemile. At this point I’m not going to buy any auto-bloggers so the winner this time is FeedWordpress which is free.

The good life

I found this great story when doing some searching about the good life and more. Really a nice little story!

A boat docked in a tiny Mexican village. An American tourist complimented the Mexican fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took him to catch them. “Not very long,” answered the Mexican. “But then, why didn’t you stay out longer and catch more?” asked the American. The Mexican explained that his small catch was sufficient to meet his needs and those of his family.

Kjell needs a bigger place

Yes that right. Kjell my red eared slider turtle I got from my brother needs a bigger place and I got just the thing for him. A custom made 581 gallons aquarium made of plywood and fibreglass. I got inspired by reading this tutorial by Jon Olav here.

Color info made easy

This great tool from ColorSchemer.com is pretty good if you want to find out more about some specific colors on a website or any other place on your computer. Maybe you saw a pretty nice website with some nice colors you want to use too. Just start it up and when you see a color you want to know more about, just hover your mouse on the color and click any key on your keyboard to lock the color. Now you have the values for HEX, RGB, CMYK and HSB as seen in the photo.

Its also free and available for download here

Make your ribbons easy

With this cool tool from Quickribbon.com you can make ribbons easy with just a few clicks. It also generate gradient effects on your ribbon. It have 4 different templates to start from.

When finished with your ribbon it creates some javacode so you can insert the ribbon to your site and also make it work as a link. Personally I’m not a fan of inserting this with javascript, but at least you got the picture made up quickly.

vBulletin pisses me off

What really start to piss me off is when you upgrade vbulletin or apply a patch you must manually go into every adspot you have set up to “edit” it then save each and one of them. This takes alot of time. I also loose money because of this. Its when you see threads like “yeah, the ads are gone” you know you have to get back into the admin cp and reactive them.

Farmville, hmmm

A few days ago I started playing Farmville on partially request by some friends at work. The game is cool, but its getting to a point now where I start to think its to much mouse clicking. I might put some more time into playing another game called Runaway;  The dream of the turtle which is great :)

Cities XL

I just started playing a demo of Cities XL after discovering this game on the Steampowered site. A really cool game if your a fan of Sim City. This one is very similar to Sim City in my opinion and the best part is that you can play online with other players and trade with them. I will try the demo for a few days more before I order the full version

vBulletin 4.01

Starting the upgrade of the forum at Librarium Online soon. I hope they fixed the bug with invalig urls to the social group from the sidebar. I read in the announcement they should fix more than 200 of bug in this release.

New template for LO

Wanted to test out this new template called Hybrid News here before I put it up on Librarium Online. I like it alot, but need to test a little more first. Lets try add a picture too :)

Blog is back

My blog is back. After at least a year I decided to bring back a wordpress blog about stuff on the web and my development of sites. I tried starting alot of sites the last year, but everyone went down the drain after just a few weeks or months. I still have ongoing projects and I hope I one day can succeed with my site #2 :)

Spambots knockin’ on my front door

Lately I’ve had way to many visits of spambots or spamhuman banging on my forum doors, and they get in no matter what I do. Email verification and captcha protection is being used but they still get through. Until I know something else these “spambots” has to be humans.

A new way of earning cash online

With the social network called Zenzuu you can now earn money by just signing up and refering your friends. Just the same as you probably have done for free before. Now its time to forget all those other networks that earns alot of money on you and your friends without giving anything back. Except for some free service that is.

With Zenzuu you will make your profile just like a normal social network, you can upload pictures, share them, search for friends, you can chat and make your own blog +++ alot more.

Check out Zenzuu here

Woopra

Woopra is a new tool for webmasters with live analytics tracking of your website. You can check it out in details at their website woopra.com

Adsblacklist.com

Today’s catch is the adsblacklist.com. A website that helps you find the worst ads you can get on affiliate networks like Google Adsense, Yahoo Publisher Network and Chitika eMiniMalls. Create an account for free and add your website with the keywords you use, then your ready to generate your own list of domains.

Star Trek keyboard

This is a pretty cool keyboard from Saitek called Cyborg. You could think its straight out of the Starship Enterprise.

Handily, when in gaming mode it will disable the Windows keys which can quit games if accidentally pressed and there’s also ports for pass-through USB, speakers and a microphone to maximise your desktop set-up space.

Available from Amazon.com : more cool keyboards

Wordpress Forum

The last week I’ve been working on my new wordpress forum. It is a forum for wordpress support. Unofficial of course, but I hope I can get it working as expected

Get a poll on your website

My latest discovery was just now when I answered a poll on a website. I noticed that they were using a free poll from polldaddy, it looked great and was inserted seamlessly into their website design. More >
